The 2025 TikTok Awards Korea are finally here!
Rising K-pop talents THE BOYZ, CORTIS, KiiiKiii, CLOSE YOUR EYES, QWER, KiiiKiii and MEOVV set the stage on fire with their awe-inspiring performances. The lineup for the second edition of the Korean TikTok Awards perfectly aligned with its theme this year: “New Era, New Icons.”
Held at Korea University Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul on Saturday, October 25, A-list celebrities from the Korean TikTok universe and K-pop stars, who helped raise K-entertainment’s banner around the world, started walking the red carpet at 4 pm KST (12:30 pm IST). Organisers lifted the curtain off the main show at 6:30 pm KST (3 pm IST).
In a significant development, the Korean Music Copyright Association (KOMCA) also got attached to the awards series as a sponsor this time.
Last year’s K-pop and K-drama winners included aespa, ILLIT, Kep1er, FIFTY FIFTY, UNIS, 8TURN, WE ARE THE NIGHT, and the CJ ENM (K-drama banner backing shows like Queen of Tears).
